About

In the twenty-first century, art has transformed from an aristocratic privilege into a cultural wave that reaches the general public. Art collection is no longer exclusive to the wealthy, but something everyone can do. This exhibition presents the contemporary art collection of Daisuke Miyatsu – a Japanese art collector and “salaryman.” The remarkable enthusiasm and vision of Miyatsu towards art made it possible for him to collect over 300 contemporary works over a period of 17 years. For this exhibition, with Natasha Lo as curator, Miyatsu selected a collection of 61 works from 51 artists. Starting from the early works of Yayoi Kusama, the exhibition also displays many conceptual works that are unreachable for normal art collectors. In addition, the exhibition presents video works from different generations and genres, while transitioning into a focus on the new generation of Asian artists. The exhibition concludes in a gathering of new media art works by world-renowned artists, and the “Dream House” - a collaborative creative project in which Miyatsu portrays his love for art. The inclination and persistence of people towards certain objects and subjects often becomes an enslaving “addiction.” The exhibition “Invisibleness is Visibleness” not only depicts Miyatsu’s extraordinary addiction of contemporary art, but also explores the social and cultural effects brought by art collectors as they support and promote galleries and new artists. In the ecosystem of “art – artist – art industry – art institution,” there are all kinds of visible and invisible relationships, including the emotional connection between art collectors and art works, their mutual support for and growth with artists, and collaboration and exchange with art institutions. These relationships weave the invisible, yet exceptionally influential, role of the art collector in contemporary art. “Invisibleness is Visibleness” is MOCA Taipei’s first exhibition to collaborate with a single collector of contemporary art ten years in the last decade. Before Miyatsu and his addiction to art which stimulated him to continuously collect art, there was the American married couple Vogel who donated all their collection to the National Gallery. Inspired by the couple, Miyatsu successfully integrated his own artistic vision and art collecting and lifestyle ideology, thus making this exhibition possible. Delighted at being surrounded by art and living with art, Miyatsu now shares his impressive art collection with the people of Taiwan. At the same time, his exhibition in itself is a testimony to a famous quote which can be found in his book: “If you are interested in art, please have the courage to take the first step in art collection, because it is possible that within the works you possess are the ‘masterpieces of tomorrow.”

Miyatsu Daisuke Introduction

Miyatsu Daisuke

Born in 1963 in Tokyo, Miyatsu Daisuke is a typical office worker. He had an opportunity when he was young to see an Andy Warhol exhibition, and the experience immediately changed his views on art. In college, artworks by Yayoi Kusama also spurred his passion for contemporary art, which led to his devotion to art collecting, starting in 1994. To date, he has collected more than 300 contemporary artworks, and the collection spans works created in the mid. 20th century, in the 1950s, and also recent pieces. The genres included are quite diverse, including drawings, oil paintings, videos, installations, and performance and conceptual artworks. His collection is a reflection of the developmental pattern in contemporary art for the past half a century. In order to be able to collect artworks that he is drawn to, in addition to living frugally, in the past he has also taken on a part-time night-shift job working at a hotel concierge. His financial resources for collecting art are the product of his painstaking efforts to save bit by bit.

His passion further transformed into a desire for learning, as Mr. Miyatsu actively participates in various art activities, with the aim of acquiring and learning art knowledge. He is dedicated to obtaining contemporary art information from various sources, and is most enthusiastic about being able to directly communicate and interact with artists. Mr. Miyatsu believes that the most efficient way to understand a particular artwork is through direct exchange with the artist. The friendships he has formed with different artists have also flourished into beautiful stories that are much talked about by people. In addition to collecting actual works of art, Mr. Miyatsu also treasures the memories between him and the artists and, because of this, he has never sold any part of his collection. On the one hand, Mr. Miyatsu has carefully stores his collected artworks in two warehouses, and on the other hand, he is also dedicated in bring art into life; therefore, together with many artists that he has invited, they have embarked on a collaborative effort to build the “Dream House”, a s project is still being carried out.

Everything collected by Miyatsu Daisuke is based on his personal view and preference and, more importantly, he also has the ability to look beyond existing knowledge and experience, allowing him to unreservedly support new art forms. Because of the influence of his grandmother, he has set the ultimate goal of donating his personal collection to the public. He says, “Art is a kind of public cultural asset, and should ultimately be shared with people. I am just temporary looking after the artworks that I have collected and, as a collector, I am responsible for carefully preserving them. In the future, the entire collection will be donated to a museum for everyone to appreciate.” Mr. Miyatsu has demonstrated his exceptional taste as a collector and also the attitude he has towards society. We are also able to observe his passion for art and also the great relationships he has formed with others. He believes in placing “events” over “objects” and “processes” over “results”, his dedication showing his unshakeable belief that art is a “life-long career” worth committing to wholeheartedly.
